evening. Al the call OF Mayor AmeS the
members of the board with the exception
of Commissioner Glenn were present, while
the members of the city council in attend
ance were Aid. Sly, Barrows. Stoft,
Flethum and Mills. Uncle Jimmy Waters
occupied his accustomed chair and leaned
back against the wall silent but interested
spectator.
Mayor AmeS called the meeting to order
by saying: 'Gentlemen, L have called this
meeting tonight to comply with recent
act of the legislature, or rather the defunct
legislature" In order to explain his mean
ing further the mayor read tie clause re-
pealing the law creating the water board
and ordering it to turn over to the
city council all property in its
possession. The mayor stated also
that he had instructed the superintendent to
prepare a schedule of all property. The
call for the meeting and the minutes of the
last stated meeting were then read. Supt
Henion next read an itemized statement OF
all the property, which was almost painful
in its careful attention TO details. including
such items as cuSpidoreS. sheets OF blotting
paper, paper weights. curry combs, cross
cut saws, as well as jumbo pumps. The
reading of the list occupied about half an
hour, including property, the estimated value
amounting 10 S79. -. Mayor AmeS
called upon the council committee to sign
the receipt for the property, and ordered
the cigars passed around.
AS parting request Col. Henion asked
to be relieved of the SO, 900 bonds which
he had given as superintendent. Commits
soner Andrews parting word was that the
superintendent's annual report should be
printed.
1T Is HARD TO SAY FAREWELL"
Mayor Ames then arose and said. with
some feeling, that he felt called upon as
the president to return thanks to
the members of the board for
the kind and courteous treatment
he had uniformly received. While he had
not been a member of any of the commit
tees he honestly believed every report made
had been founded upon honesty and justice
TO the city. He also wished to thank the
superintendent. engineers and the clerical
force for their faithfulness, He felt that
the work of the board had been transferred
TO good hands. He could not help regret
ing the ravages which politics make with
the machinery of the peoples govern
ment. There was no question in his
mind that the board had been abolished to
subServe political ends. 1t had been done
by those who had the power to do it. not
by the people. He wished that all boards
might be abolished and placed in charge of
men who should be elected by and held re-
sponsible to the people. 1t might lily be-
come him to say this. but he could not
help it.
Commissioner Andrews, Oh behalf of the
retiring board, thanked the mayor for the
courteous and always impartial manner i'll
which he had presided. The board had not
been political one but working board.
Ex-CommiSsioner Foote also thanked the
mayor saying he never knew him to do an
unfair or uncOurteOuS act.
Aid. Sly said he felt sorry the board had
been abolished, and was certain the council
committee would not nor could do the
work as again.
Aid. Mills said he felt it was great
mistake to abolish the board.
Aid. Sly put in: IF we get another moss
back legislature they'll abolish the council"
Aid. Barrows also regretted that the board
had been abolished, and complimented the
commissioners highly.
Commissioner Andrews said it was a
pleasure to be appreciated at last.
Mayor Ames closed the wake by moving
resolution Of thanks to the employees of
the board to be spread on the minutes.
